Do people really sneak booze into the movies? That's a level of sad that I have heretofore managed to avoid.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link
My Mickey's/not-Champagne stories are the only two times I have done so.
I think people who get the shakes without a nip sneak in booze.

I've never had any desire to sneak booze into the movies. (I'm using booze to mean "alcoholic bevvies.")

In fact, I got a beer at the Siskel on Friday and only drank like 1/3 of it. Mistake!

With the not-Champagne, I was supposed to go to a play opening with some friends, but we got there at 8 only to find that it started at 7:30, and I had brought a bottle of not-Champagne for a Franco-American actress in the cast, and so the bunch of us bought paper cups at the White Hen and brought the whole thing into the Davis.
P.S., I meant to ask El Lechero about how he ended up shooting Chicago from the corncob towers.

Oh! I knew you would notice that! We know a guy who lives there.
― La Lechera, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link
But when you go to one of those cool theaters that serve alcohol, wouldn't you get a beer?
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link
By not-Champagne, do you mean a Champagne-style beverage not actually from the region of Champagne? And by Franco-American actress, do you mean a woman who shills for Spaghetti-Os?
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link
xp - If I wanted one, I would. But I wouldn't get one just because it was there.

What the fuck is sad about sneaking booze into a movie? Do you think that the Brew and View at the Vic is sad too?
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link
I once snuck a bottle of bubbly and to-go sushi into a movie.
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link
SO HUNGRY YOU GUYS!
Jordan, I eat really fast, too. I think it means we are evolutionarily superior.
I love movie snacks in part because my mom would never let my sisters and me get them growing up. lately I have a real partiality to getting a hot dog at movie theaters. is that gross?
I have never actually snuck booze into a theater, but it seems like a good idea.
― horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link
but I am sympathetic to Amanda's point. every time I've been to the Brew and View the second movie is inaudible because of drunken yahoos.
― horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link
drunks with a sense of shame and civics are fine with me, though.
I would expect as much at the Brew and View, because that's what it is. But to hear cans opening and falling on the floor at a regular movie theater irritates me. At least have the decorum to bring a quiet flask!

What the fuck is sad about sneaking booze into a movie?
alright alright, christ, i take it back. I was thinking more of what eric was talking about, like having a half pint of something strong in your jacket to keep you from feeling sick. That's all I meant by "sad."
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link
I guess when I think of "booze" I'm not thinking of beer or wine or anything but the hard stuff.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link
Uh I have never heard of anyone sneaking alcohol anywhere for that reason, Kenan. Maybe I've been hanging out with the wrong/right crowd?

Jesse: You inspired me, and I bought a watch today. It is this:
http://www.swissarmy.com//images/ProductCatalog/sa/sa_24656_sol_a03.jpg
The band is actually leather wrapped in cloth, for maximum durability. I figure, I'm not buying another watch for a long, long while. It's not like shoes or something.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link
There is a dude at work with a nerd watch. It's in binary or something. What kind of asshole wears a watch that no one else can read?
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link
Wait, why in the WORLD would you wear a watch for other people to read?? It's like the most basic thing about a watch that it's turned to face you when you hold your arm up. If it was for other people, it would be upside-down. Or something! If you want to know the time from someone, YOU ASK THEM.
― Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link
I guess I was thinking of when you ask someone for the time, and they hold out their watch for you to see. Which I guess is kind of rude anyway? I don't know, I haven't worn a watch since high school.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, me neither -- that's what cell phones are for.
― Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link
ok, anyway...
thanks to jesse for the "buy a watch" idea and jeff for the big-ups of the swiss army brand... I am very happy with my purchase. I believe I got something attractive-yet-practical enough for any occasion.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link
heh... there's a thread somewhere where I go off on how stupid it is to have a watch. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link
The real reason to have one is that it's a classic accessory. And a handsome one.
I don't like accessories. I tried wearing a watch for a couple of days in like 6th grade, but I couldn't get used to feeling something on my wrist. I wonder how I'd do with a wedding band.
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link
Cell phones are fine, but it's like the difference between a pocket watch and a wrist watch. Except that the cell phone isn't as aesthetically pleasing as a nice pocket watch.
Even so, a watch is more of a wrist accessory for me. A functional one.
My ex-bf used to wear his non-functioning watch when he would go out or dress up.
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link
I have to wear a watch because I'm really anal about time.
― n/a, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link
I loooooove accessories (right this sec I am wearing two giant plastic Jane Jetson-style bangle bracelets so big I can barely type with them on) but watches always seem to stop within a few weeks of my receiving them. And god knows I never get around to buying new batteries.
